#lambdaworld — Public Fediverse posts

Lambda World 2025 trip report is up! ✨
Made the pilgrimage to Cádiz again for two days of #FunctionalProgramming goodness. Kotlin DSLs, Rust workshops, AI-native languages, and debates about whether LLMs will replace us all (spoiler: maybe?).
Also: I got publicly mocked for complaining about coffee last year. Worth it. ☕😄

#LambdaWorld #Scala #Rust #Kotlin #TechConferences

Zainab Ali very much taking up the baton from Noel Welsh on making Scala fun to play with by demoing her new Aquascape #FS2 visualisation library for her standout talk at #Lambdaworld. https://zainab-ali.github.io/aquascape/

Masterclass presenting tricks on show included,
- drive-by demos of cool new features of #Scala itself
- audience participation with chocolate
- pictures of real cats
- livecoding demo
- a timeline for getting the library incorporated into FS2 main

I stopped off in #Grazalema for a couple of nights before #Lambdaworld to explore. The first day I set out to climb Mt Simancón (1,569 m - 2nd highest peak in the area) on a circular route above the white village. In these two shots shortly after the first climb I was able to look back north on a few houses from the village and other peaks towards Zahara and I was able to look south to the major climbs of the day which I would be doing right to left along ridgelines culminating with Simancón.
